University of Southern Indiana senior shortstop Lexi Reese (Lebanon, Indiana) has been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Player of the Week for softball after helping the No. 16 Screaming Eagles navigate through their eight-game slate at The Spring Games with an unblemished record a week ago.
Reese hit .455 with a pair of doubles, two home runs and six RBIs as the Eagles improved to 17-3 on the season.
In USI’s 9-0 win over the University of Sioux Falls Friday, Reese hit a three-run, walk-off home run to end the game in six innings. She also had a home run in USI’s 2-0 win over Southwest Minnesota State University Thursday.
For the week, Reese had a .818 slugging percentage and a .586 on-base percentage. She is currently second on the team with a .397 batting average and three home runs, and is third with 16 RBIs.
USI returns to action Saturday at noon when it begins its 2017 home schedule with its GLVC-opener against William Jewell College.
